Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X175SU
The AirTAC Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X175SU is a genuine double acting + cushion standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø0mm bore and 175mm stroke, PT/G air ports and a stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you tune end-of-stroke deceleration on site.

About the Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X175SU
A 16 mm bore MAC16X175SU with a 175 mm stroke delivers 100.5 N of push and 86.4 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa - a light-duty class for small gating, indexing and check slides. Double-acting air drives the rod both ways and a variable air cushion at each end absorbs the shock of fast stops, so the covers stay intact even at higher speeds within the 30-800 mm/s range.
The riveted, rolled construction seals the aluminium covers and stainless block to the barrel for life, while the hard-chrome plated 6 mm rod slides in a stainless tube that shrugs off the damp found in food and outdoor corners. Every unit ships with a built-in magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches clip straight on. At 0.5 MPa, plan on roughly 60 N of usable push once friction and wear are allowed for - this cylinder lifts about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X175SU Is Used
Reject gate on a bottling line
Nudges underfilled or capping-fault bottles off a 65 mm conveyor lane; 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa is ample for a 150 g PET bottle, and the stainless barrel survives constant splash.
SMT tray push-off
Advances a single magazine pocket of IC trays at the loader; the 175 mm reach clears the rack and the built-in magnet feeds stop-detection to the PLC.
Vial rack lift in a lab autosampler
Raises a sampled vial rack of about 5 kg between wash and read stations, with the variable cushion preventing glass-to-glass knock at the top stop.
Is the Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X175SU the Right Cylinder?
The 16 mm bore is the entry point of the MAC range; the next step up, 20 mm, lifts push to 157 N at 0.5 MPa - about 56% more - so stay at 16 mm while your working load sits under roughly 60 N. On a 175 mm stroke the slender 6 mm rod needs straight alignment; support long tooling externally or side load will bow it. The rod drifts freely when air is dumped, so fit a pilot check valve or rod lock where a load must stay put. The U flat-end cover bolts to fixed plates, and FA flange or LB foot mounts are there if the face changes.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) is standard for sensors
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (FA/LB/SDB)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check On first run, back off the cushion screws and release gradually.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac B01-MAC Series Special Purpose Cylinder B01-MAC16X175SU FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 100.5 N and pulls with 86.4 N. At 0.7 MPa those rise to 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull, and the theoretical maximum is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It runs on 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) of 40 um filtered air, proof tested to 1.5 MPa (215 psi), with speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
A stainless-steel barrel is rolled to aluminium covers with a stainless block, sealing the unit without fasteners through the tube wall; the 6 mm carbon-steel rod is hard-chrome plated about 20 um against wear. The magnet is built in as standard, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches mount without a special-order piston.
